I'm saw this at Halflife2.net and thought I should show you guys here. Personally, mods are the reason I consider myself a PC gamer above all else, as they expand great games into something more and even sometimes better. And this is just one mod that got me excited!

PS: If anything check out the site to hear some nice remixes of a couple classic Star Wars themes as you browse!

 

That's nice that is.

I can't honestly say I was a massive fan of Movie Battles back in the JA days though, the gameplay felt too convoluted and games seemed to stretch on for too long. If they can smooth over the kinks of the original, then Movie Battles might actually be as entertaining as CS/BF/etc, otherwise, I'll still sign up just for the shirts and giggles of jedi ctf.

 

I agree, I wasn't a big fan of Movie Battles either. But luckily it's just one game mode. And the first version will only have DM/TDM, and that is pretty hard to get wrong.

But that makes me wonder how they're going to balance everything. It's either the Jedi are too powerful or they aren't powerful enough.

 

You'd figure it was much only a matter of time before a team set out to mod the Source engine into a SW theme. Nice find as I'm definitely interested to see how this turns out.

 

I've seen a couple attempts to start a SW mod on Source before (Jedi vs. Sith and Star Wars: Source). Jedi vs. Sith I'm willing to call dead, and the Star Wars: Source team joined the Movie Battles team to make this mod.

 

Is this gonna be a next gen game?

If its not i wouldn't be surprised its not like LucasArts have risen to the challenge yet. It would be funny if their fans are making better Star Wars games then them. hehe

 

Its.... a mod for half life 2. Thats in the title...
